Sophonisba is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, more commonly known as Guercino. Created in 1621, this work exemplifies Guercino's mastery in capturing dramatic intensity and emotional depth, hallmarks of the Baroque period. The painting depicts the tragic figure of Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman who chose to commit suicide rather than be paraded in a Roman triumph following her capture during the Second Punic War.

In the composition, Guercino portrays the moment of Sophonisba's demise with poignant realism and a strong sense of pathos. She is shown elegantly dressed, holding a cup of poison, her expression a mixture of resignation and sorrow. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and dark, enhances the emotional gravity of the scene, drawing the viewer's focus to Sophonisba's face and the fatal cup. This technique not only highlights the central figure but also imbues the painting with a dramatic tension characteristic of the Baroque style.

Guercino's attention to detail is evident in the rich textures of the fabrics and the delicate rendering of Sophonisba's features. The background is kept relatively subdued, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains firmly on the tragic heroine. The painting reflects the Baroque fascination with themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the human condition, capturing a moment of profound personal and historical significance.

Sophonisba by Guercino is housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy. It remains a significant work within Guercino's oeuvre, illustrating his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through his art. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of a historical figure caught in a moment of poignant decision.
